Golfers are known for exaggerating after a round. A 320-yard drive turns into 415, a ball landing on the green is now a near hole-in-one—that sort of thing. Well, this golfer in particular tried to claim that a hawk was hot on his tail. Unfortunately, someone was recording the whole dang thing.

For many weekend hackers, bringing booze to the golf course is just as important as bringing their clubs. The problem, of course, is that most golf courses aren't BYOB. When you find one that is, though, that's a real gem. Anyway, this situation leads to golfers turning into smugglers in...

This is it, this is the most devious way to sneak booze onto a golf course

Kohler, WI

It’s not unusual to see luxury sports cars parked outside top golf courses; golfers are known to have a taste for the finer things in life. What’s slightly more unexpected is to see an eroded bronze Porsche 911 sculpture parked on the front lawn. It’s part of the “Arsham in Kohler” immersive art installation in Kohler, Wis., featuring larger-than-life sculptures on three of the property’s golf courses—including the acclaimed Whistling Straits—and at The American Club.

Golf course or museum? This latest collab proves you can do both

It’s official. Golf is a combat sport now. No matter which course you play or what app you scroll, you’ll find golfers of all shapes, sizes and ages locked in physical warfare over the slightest indiscretions. Ungiven gimmes, errant tee shots into neighboring yards, pace of play. You name it, golfers have thrown down over it, including these knuck-chucking Canucks who were seen beating the maple syrup out of each other during a morning tee time at Riverway Golf Course last weekend. Let’s get ready to rumble.

The best public-access and private golf courses in Florida, ranked

You never know what you might find on the golf course. A couple of Pro V1s, somebody’s lost car keys, human remains or perhaps two massive alligators duking it out like Ali-Frazier. That’s what one Redditor was greeted by this week when they found the 4th fairway down at their local club blocked by two prehistoric killing machines engaged in a life-or-death battle. Check it out.

There's no mistaking a PXG ad on television. Something about the combination of hard-rock background music, stark black-and-white graphics and the enthusiastic, gravelly voiceover makes it instantly recognizable. "Nobody makes golf clubs the way we do. Period," it booms. Bob Parsons, the owner of that voice, is correct on two...

At heart, golf and baseball are the same sport. In both you start at home—the first tee, home plate—head out and play back to the house. Along the way, all manner of strange things may happen, and often do. Is there anything riper for disaster than a baserunner in a rundown between third and home, or a golfer trying to play a ball in a creek? One reason, among many, we keep watching: We can’t get enough of the odd and the unpredictable.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

At most golf courses, cath paths are part of the experience. Golfers often like to play golf while riding around the course in a cart, and most golf courses accommodate golf carts with paths specifically for them. However, cart paths on the golf course are often in play for golfers....

When a player comes to me for some kind of change or intervention, it's usually for one of two reasons. It's either because they're struggling or they're trying to recover from an injury. In both cases, their game isn't where they want it to be. And the conversation often goes...

Basketball star and noted golf enthusiast Klay Thompson just left the Golden State Warriors for a new contract with the Dallas Mavericks. Now that the four-time NBA champion (and part-owner of the TGL's San Francisco franchise) is in the market for a new home, perhaps he should consider this $5.85 million compound half an hour south of nearby Fort Worth.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
